Hello Apache DataSketches PMC and Community,
1. This is a call for vote to release Apache DataSketches-java candidate
version: 8.0.0-RC1 (for Java 21)
This is the core Java component of the DataSketches library that includes
all the sketch algorithms in production-ready packages. These sketches can
be called directly from this component or used in conjunction with adapter
components for Apache Pig, Apache Hive, Apache Druid, etc.
NOTES:
- This is a release of the DataSketches Java library compatible with
Java 21.
- This release uses the Java Foreign Function & Memory (FFM) features
that are in "preview" in Java 21. As a result, you will need to set the
JVM flag "--enable-preview" at runtime, or if compiling using the OpenJDK
Java compilers.
- Note that the Eclipse Compiler for Java (ECJ) used in both the Eclipse
JDT IDE and the VScode IDE will not allow compilation of preview code for
Java version 21.
- Please read the more detailed notes on build and runtime dependencies
in the README file, linked below.
